Since POA is executed abroad it should be attested before Indian consulate 

Yes, you can get the notarised power of attorney executed in USA to get it adjudicated in Mumbai, the attestation by Indian consulate is not necessary.

- Yes, the POA can be notarized and apostille in USA , and it is valid in India for all the purposes.

- However, the attestation from Consulate of India is necessary. 

1.  Yes, you are right. The POA created, Notarized and apostilled in USA be Adjudicated/Registered in the District/Sub Registrar's Office in Mumbai, without being attested by the Indian Consulate in USA.

2.  The above procedure is being followed in Bengaluru.

i would like to know for what is the POA made?

is the POA made for registering certain document before a Sub-Registrar of Assurances under the Indian Registration Act?

for example - an owner would be living in the USA and has a property in Mumbai. The owner wishes to sell his Mumbai property and since he cannot remain personally present in Mumbai to complete the sale transaction and the registration formalities, he may want to appoint a constituted attorney/POA holder who would do the formalities on behalf of the owner

so the owner makes a POA in favour of certain individual in Mumbai and signs that POA before the notary public in the USA or before the Consular officer. Such a POA is perfectly valid. 

if the POA is notarised in the USA and an apostille certificate is also got to verify the authority of the notary to perform the notorial act on the POA, then such POA is not again required to be attested by the Indian Consulate there

the duly notorised and apostilled POA would have to be accepted by the Sub-Registrar of Assurances in Mumbai without insisting for attestation by the Indian Consulate, since the POA is made in accordance with the Registration Act

There is no requirement after apostilled

Yes with in 4 months.

A duly notarised PoA is enough. There is no need for any attestation from Indian diplomatic missions in the USA. The PoA executed there has to be either notraised or attested by the Indian mission.

You need to attest it in embassy or consulate 

As per the rules of the Indian Government, the Power of Attorney (POA) executed in a foreign country can be registered with the Sub-Registrar in Mumbai, India. However, if the POA is notarized and apostilled in the USA, it needs to be attested by the Indian Consulate in the USA before it can be registered in India. The Indian Consulate's attestation confirms the authenticity of the notarization and apostille, and it ensures that the POA is legally valid for use in India.

While the Indian Consulate in the USA may leave it to individual discretion whether or not to attest the POA, it is recommended to get it attested to avoid any legal issues in India. The attestation process by the Indian Consulate involves verifying the identity of the person executing the POA, verifying the notary public's signature, and confirming that the apostille is authentic.

In summary, it is advisable to get the POA attested by the Indian Consulate in the USA before registering it with the Sub-Registrar in Mumbai to ensure that the POA is legally valid and can be executed without any issues in India.

Since GPA is executed in Mumbai and registered with sub registrar office it would not require attestation before Indian consulate 

attestation before Indian consulate would be required if document is executed abroad 

Yes the District/Sub Registrar of the competent jurisdiction in Mumbai will accept the Apostilled document to be registered / adjudicated without being attested by Indian Consulate in USA.

Same procedure is being followed in Bengaluru also.

The general power of attorney deed can be notarized by a notary public of the country of your residence. 

It is not mandatory to get it attested by an official of Indian embassy or to get it apostille. 

The notarized deed can be accepted for adjudication by the sub registrar concerned. 

Don't get confused by listening to various misguiding advices. 

of what i understand from your follow up, your wife is the grantor of the POA and you are appointed as her constituted attorney for the purpose of complying with the registration formalities of the leave and license agreement 

if the POA is made in Mumbai, then where is the question of signing it before the Indian Consulate?

your query is as confusing as it can be

anyway i am reproducing the relevant section in the Indian Registration Act with relevant portion highlighted. hope that helps

Registrar will not refuse but it has to be register in 4 months of execution.

The acceptance of the Apostille document by the Sub Registrar for registration of the leave and license agreement would depend on the specific policies and procedures of the Sub Registrar's office. It is advisable to contact the Sub Registrar's office where the registration is to take place and inquire about their policies regarding the acceptance of Apostille documents.

In general, an Apostille document is a legal document that is recognized in India and can be used for the purposes for which it was intended. However, the Sub Registrar's office may have specific requirements for the registration of leave and license agreements, such as the need for additional attestation or verification of the document.

It is recommended that you consult with a local lawyer who is familiar with the policies and procedures of the Sub Registrar's office and can advise you on the best course of action for the registration of the leave and license agreement.

Yes it will accept but same needs to be registered again in Mumbai
